He was also just on the Military Channel show "Ultimate Warfare, Hue the bloodiest battle" and also just returned from Vietnam where he went with a military tour group along with other vets. I dont know if the "Golf 2/5 association" web site is still up, but he was the president of that. Maybe you should look it up and pay a visit. He always loves to hear from vets especialy Marines!

We along withe a few army and Air Force crew cheifs lived about 1/2 mile west of the compound. We were cut off complely and had now way to get to the compound. I radioed the 1ST sgt and he put me in touch with an artillery battery. Having had prior training in the artillery I started alling in artillery on the buildings around our location , the hospital and other buildings around us that were heavealy occupied by NVA. We were under fire most of the time however, the artillery fire sort of slowed them down. We had 7 NVA to surrender to us. I to this day do not know why they did not overrun us but am thankfur hey did not.We were creideted with over 120 killed. I just recentlu was able to get in touch with two other members of my team after all these years. We do plan to get together in the spring. Cpt Mike Downs arrived on the sixth day to our house and we were escorted back to the compound. I respect all of you that served in the Battle of Hue. I was stationed in Hue 1967-1969
